It's Day 36 of the Republican shutdown, the longest in American history.
All because the GOP refuse to work with Democrats to prevent families from paying hundreds extra per month for health care.
And it appears voters agree:
This is a colossal failure in leadership.

The only people refusing to show up to work are House Republicans.
If you are willing to defy court orders to starve 42 million Americans, you have lost your humanity.
Trump needs to follow the law and fully fund SNAP benefits.
NEW: Senator Durbin and I are demanding that Kristi Noem put a stop to DHS arresting people for filming agents attacking their neighbors.
How dare DHS call foul play while it uses taxpayer dollars to record propaganda videos?
It is legal to record. It's called accountability.
As someone who grew up counting every last SNAP dollar, this is intentionally cruel.
Trump has the money to provide full SNAP benefits during the Republican shutdown—and he's choosing to let families struggle.
Hungry children deserve full bellies. Not crumbs.
While Trump spent the weekend golfing on the taxpayer's dime, millions are starting the week unsure how they'll buy groceries without SNAP benefits.
Unconscionable.
Example #3: When Daniel Montenegro tried to film a Border Patrol raid at a Home Depot, agents tackled him, injured his back and falsely accused him of using tire spikes to attack vehicles.
They’re assaulting citizens for documenting their violence.
We need investigations. Now.
Open enrollment starts this week—and millions of Americans are finding out just how much their premiums have skyrocketed after Republicans let ACA tax credits expire.
Make no mistake: the GOP owns this crisis.
They had every opportunity to prevent this fallout and are still choosing not to.
Earlier this month, the Administration publicly stated it had billions in funding to continue SNAP during the Republican shutdown.
Then Trump decided he'd rather let millions of Americans starve.
Today, two federal courts reminded him that it's not his choice.
It’s the law.
Sonya Massey feared for her safety and trusted law enforcement to protect her.
That trust should never have cost her life.
While justice prevailed, this ruling can’t bring Sonya back.
Her legacy lives on as we work to make sure a tragedy like this never happens again.
An Illinois deputy was found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help. https://cnn.it/47d9GjC
Let's be clear: Trump has the funding to keep SNAP running. He's choosing not to.
There's even a Republican-led bill to fund SNAP with broad Democratic support. Republican leaders won't let us vote on it.
Deliberately choosing to let families starve is as vindictive as it gets.
Trump would rather build a tacky ballroom for himself than keep kids from going hungry.
Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov for supporting our food banks and helping ensure that Illinois families will be able to put food on the table when Republicans won’t.
It's not just Chicago, Portland, DC, LA and Memphis at risk—
The writing is on the wall.
Donald Trump is on mission to pit our heroes against the American people.
And it could be your city, your safety and your rights next.
9 in 10 low-income ACA enrollees—mostly in states Trump won—will pay the price if ACA tax credits expire.
And yet, Trump and House Republicans aren't even in DC to try and fix this crisis.
They are quite literally abandoning their voters.
House Republicans haven't shown up to work for 40 days.
Donald Trump isn't even in the country.
They shut down the government, spiraling us toward a health care crisis that will hike your monthly premiums and jeopardize coverage for millions—
And then just left.
America is in turmoil from his government shutdown and bracing for higher health care bills—
And instead of doing his job and governing for the American people,
Trump is halfway across the world threatening American cities with our military.

Democrats slam FCC’s decision to ‘gut’ prison phone call price cap
NEWS: I’m leading my colleagues in denouncing FCC Chair Carr’s unlawful plan to increase costs on law-abiding Americans who wish to keep in touch with their incarcerated loved ones.
Congress passed a law to lower prison phone rates.
Carr must do his job and enforce the law.
